Spirit Towel Decoration Methods

We offer technical screen printing, premium embroidery, chain stitch embroidery, puff embroidery, and custom chenille patches for vibrant spirit and rally towels.

Technical Screen Print

The most popular choice for rally towels. Durable, vibrant inks that stand up to high-energy use and washing. Best for bold logos on large runs.

Premium Embroidery

Raised thread logos for a professional, tactile finish. Best for high-end boutique team gear and alumni gifts.

Chain Stitch Embroidery

Heritage looped chain-stitch thread for a hand-crafted vintage athletic look. Best for collegiate-style lettering and varsity branding on cotton terry rally towels.

Puff Embroidery

Raised, dimensional foam-backed embroidery that pops off the surface. Best for bold team logos and high-impact stadium branding on heavyweight terry.

Custom Chenille Patches

Soft, fuzzy varsity-style chenille patches sewn directly onto the towel. Ideal for classic collegiate letters and alumni booster club merch.

Screen print drives vibrant team colors and large center-face logos for stadium runs; puff embroidery adds raised, dimensional foam-backed thread that pops off the surface for high-impact athletic branding on plush velour and heavyweight terry. Both are tested to stand up to high-energy game-day use and repeated washing.

Questions about Custom Spirit Towels?

FAQ

Everything you need to know about styles, decoration, and delivery.

What is the standard size for rally towels?

The industry standard size is 11" x 18". This size is ideal for waving in the stands while remaining compact enough for easy distribution at events.

Can you print a design across the entire face of the spirit towel?

Yes. Because we print on rally towels while they are flat, we can accommodate large-scale designs that fill the majority of the center face. Exact dimensions vary by style.

Are custom spirit towels machine-washable?

Yes. Our 100% cotton and poly-cotton blend spirit towels are machine-washable. We recommend using cold water and a gentle cycle to protect the decoration and the fabric.

Is there a minimum order for custom spirit towels?

Most of our spirit towels have a 1-piece minimum for embroidery. Wholesale bulk discounts for screen printing typically begin at 12+ pieces and increase for larger stadium runs.

Do you offer fringed spirit towels?

Yes. Our Carmel Towel Company C1118 style features decorative fringed edges on both ends, providing the classic rally towel look preferred by schools and athletic clubs.

How quickly can I get custom rally towels for a game?

Standard production time is 10-14 business days. For tight game-day deadlines, we offer rush production services (3-5 days) to ensure your fans are ready to cheer.
